Well it's sink or swim for the owners now. How low we have foookin fallen, when you see the list that the bookies were putting up. You live in hope being a Notts' supporter, but my hope is dwindling

Hold on, you still live in hope? I thought we'd all agreed communally that all hope was lost long ago? It's certainly easier to assume that's the case.

Think it might be centre-half Angus MacDonald - free agent this summer.

As for Williams - lots of praise for his coaching abilities and as Jacob said looks a bit more intimidating so we'll wait and see.

If the squad improves and Williams is even a slightly improvement of Birchnall we should be up there challenging.

Happy with the 2 signings so far and if the 4 mentioned above are actually signing we've done well so far. Dodoo hasn't got a great scoring record but will certainly be a nice foil for Langstaff or a good option for last 20.

Both MacDonald (if Angus) and Bajrami would be improvements on Lacey and Rawlinson from my limited knowledge of them.

As someone else pointed out other one will be the forward Joe Mason, at MK when Williams was there although he actually played on Saturday so maybe not.

Sure hope so

I can only surmise an analysis of his time in charge indicated that he was actually overperforming with the players he was given. Hopefully. Or maybe I'm clutching at straws there.

His stats aren't great but Ardley took us down but still did better than us this season and nearly got Solihull up so I think we should just judge him on what we see. I think it's quite exciting to see what he can do. COYP

Lol @ac

"Gets a fair chance..."? From the owners or the supporters?

I look forward to hearing from him and seeing more additions to the squad.

In fairness the bookies had no idea.

They were guessing and I suspect 90% on that list were names mentioned by our fans on social media.

The Danish guy was a massive troll and made them look stupid

As expected, left field appointment. He does look like he’ll have more fire in his belly than Burchnall and this was always one of Ian’s weaknesses imo.
We’ll only know this time next year whether the appointment has worked. Gamble? I think all appointments are. The obvious front runner was Williamson at Gateshead for me, but when have we ever done the obvious?

Squad wise, I can see a few arriving over the next few weeks now. Roll on the new season.

“Luke’s Williams Black and White Army.”

One thing LW seemingly has in common with IB - and I just assume it’s a modern coaching thing, and something the Reedtz want: talking about “controlling” the game. I hope this means going out with the aim of battering teams, not boring them into submission, but suspect it might be the latter.

I see a few Swindon fans tweeting that he only had a plan A (ball retention), so hope he’s now more intent on playing on the front foot and in the opposing half.

Anyway, good luck, Luke, here’s to a successful career at Meadow Lane.
